Blooms Wilting After Opening on Yellow Neck Squash

Question

My yellow crook-necked squash plants look great, but when the flower opens, they look like they are wilting. Is this a problem or are they suppose to look that way?

Answer 1

Wilting or dropping of blossoms is usually due to poor pollination or an over abundance of males. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/squash/squash-blossoms-falling-off-vine.htm
